Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights the tv and the radio
Still I can't escape the ghost of you
What has happened to it all
Crazy some are saying
Where is the life that I recognize
Gone away
I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say
Pride will tear us both apart
Well now pride's gone out the window 'cross the rooftops run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart
What is happening to me
Crazy some'd say
Where is my friend when I need you most
Gone away
I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
Somehow I will survive
Papers in the roadside
Tell of suffering and greed
Here today where not tomorrow
Ooh here besides the news
Of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk
Ordinary World
